About the Course

This course was developed by Dr. Rebecca Dekker, PhD and author of Babies are Not Pizzas to put the most up to date evidence based information into the hands of communities and parents so you can make empowered and informed decisions about your birth. You’ll watch videos she recorded herself, then we will come together each week to discuss what you learned, how it applies to you, and what questions you have.

You will learn:

  • What evidence-based care is and how to know if you’re receiving it

  • A ton of comfort measures - we’ll practice together in the last class!

  • Advocacy skills to create a birth environment that you want

Pregnant people and their partners leave this class feeling more confident about their birth.

Content note: this course has gendered language and references the role of the partner in many of the videos. If you are a choice or single parent, I want you to know that this partner could be anyone who is going to be present at your birth.
